Yes, giving a kitten adult cat flea treatment can be potentially fatal. Most adult formulations contain chemicals that are too strong for a kitten's developing systems and can lead to severe toxicity or death. It’s crucial to use treatments specifically formulated for kittens, which are safe for their size and age. If accidental exposure occurs, contact a veterinarian immediately for guidance.

What to bath a 7 week puppy with that has fleas?
I have used Dawn dish soap....very carefully...on stray kitten I found who was infested with fleas. There is a lot of controversy about this...and it is very drying to the animals skins. There 'may' be store brands that are now okay for puppies and kittens, so you may want to try that first. If you use it on the puppy be very careful with his/her eyes. This will only be a temporary solution, but it may get you started. :)

Can fleas make a kitten sick?
A heavily infested animal, over time, can lose a substantial amount of blood to fleas. This is mostly the case in very young or frail animals. 70 fleas can consume 1 mL of blood per day which could kill a puppy or kitten in 50 days. Double the number of fleas and the young animal can be dead in a month. They lose so many red blood cells to the fleas that they become anemic and die.
Do you worm or de flea your cat first?
It really depends on how often you use flea or worming treatment on your cat. Generally speaking, you only need to worm twice a year if it is an adult cat, and some flea treatments advise to use their treatments once a month, although some owners will only use flea treatments once every couple of months. Essentially, it doesn't really matter what treatment you use first on your cat.
Can you catch fleas from a kitten?
Yes, but not all. You need a flea collar or something else it will suffer & possibly infest your house.Animals that have fleas can cause an infestation in your house as the previous answer states. You might want to try either some type of flea medication, a flea bath (although with most cats, any type of bath involving water had better be done in a full suit of body armor :) or a flea collar. If you go the flea medication route, make sure you look to see at what age you can administer it. I believe that some flea meds are not safe for small kittens. Actually after doing more research, I've discovered that if the kitten is less than 6 weeks old, you should not use any type of flea treatment on it. To get rid of the fleas wash the kitten in a mild dishwashing liquid such as Dawn and then manually pick the remaining fleas off. See the Related Links below for more info.
